Zipkin - distributed tracing for service-based applications

As more and more applications are composed of several or more services, finding all the bottlenecks between the data and the user is a tough problem in itself. Twitter has added to their growing list of open source projects with Zipkin, which provides a system for distributed tracing.

Instrumented libraries in the stack send information to a Zipkin collector via Thrift. Data can then be queried and presented in Zipkin’s web interface.
